Miki represents the next generation of Chain Abstraction interfaces, aimed at simplifying the increasing complexity of blockchain technology and revolutionizing user experiences. Through this platform, users can execute transactions on any chain without necessarily holding assets on every chain, all while depositing assets and earning returns. This document elucidates Miki's vision and commitment to the future.
As blockchain technology expands, it ironically complicates the user experience. Users face three main challenges in this fragmented ecosystem:
Despite its potential to drive innovation, the growing diversity of blockchains burdens users with a complex maze of tasks, complicating their interaction with the technology.
Miki cuts through the complexity of blockchain, enabling effortless interaction with Dapps across any chain for all users. The process is straightforward:
Deposit and Execute: Just deposit your assets on your preferred chain, and you're ready to access and transact on any blockchain. Think of it like a bank deposit: just as you can shop worldwide with a debit card after a single deposit, Miki allows access to all chains with one initial deposit. Whether you're looking to engage in swapping, lending, or providing liquidity without having assets on that specific chain, it's no issue. Miki references your deposited assets to facilitate transactions, ensuring you can engage with any application, anytime, without the need for assets on multiple chains.
Asset Yield Generation: Just as deposits in a bank accrue interest until withdrawn, Miki utilizes the assets users deposit to generate yields. This not only enhances the user experience by offering financial benefits beyond mere transaction facilitation but also contrasts with traditional Centralized Exchanges (CEXs) and bridges. In traditional settings, assets must be held in a wallet without yield potential until exchanged. Miki revolutionizes this by allowing assets to work for the user, generating profit even when not actively engaged in transactions.
Miki is capable of executing any transaction across the blockchain universe, but let's highlight some particularly beneficial uses for users.
Imagine a common scenario among crypto users: Alice wants to receive 10 USDC on the Optimism chain, but Bob only has ETH on Arbitrum. With Miki, cross-chain token transfers are streamlined, allowing Bob to easily send the USDC to Alice, regardless of the chains or currencies they hold. This functionality eradicates the hassle of navigating multiple chains and currencies for simple transactions.
